Announcement
MBLL player Michael Locke, age 12, was struck by a car on August 27 while riding his bike home from the beach. He was wearing his helmet and the doctors say that it saved his life. He spent almost a month in critical condition on a ventilator at Harbor UCLA Hospital in Torrance California. About the third week in September, he awoke from his coma and makes progress daily. He cannot accept visitors at this time. His family is very supportive, and close by his side at all times. The doctors are optimistic about his recovery, but it will take much time.
For more information about Michael and an update on his condition, please visit his websites at:
